Beware of the simulated dag! causal discovery benchmarks may be easy to game

A Reisach, C Seiler… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Simulated DAG models may exhibit properties that, perhaps inadvertently, render their
structure identifiable and unexpectedly affect structure learning algorithms. Here, we show …

Learning latent causal graphs via mixture oracles

B Kivva, G Rajendran, P Ravikumar… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of reconstructing a causal graphical model from data in the presence
of latent variables. The main problem of interest is recovering the causal structure over the …

Structure learning in polynomial time: Greedy algorithms, Bregman information, and exponential families

G Rajendran, B Kivva, M Gao… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Greedy algorithms have long been a workhorse for learning graphical models, and more
broadly for learning statistical models with sparse structure. In the context of learning …

Efficient Bayesian network structure learning via local Markov boundary search

M Gao, B Aragam - Advances in Neural Information …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc

Estimating large causal polytrees from small samples

S Chatterjee, M Vidyasagar - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.07028, 2022 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of estimating a large causal polytree from a relatively small iid
sample. This is motivated by the problem of determining causal structure when the number …

Ocdaf: Ordered causal discovery with autoregressive flows

H Kamkari, V Zehtab, V Balazadeh… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We propose OCDaf, a novel order-based method for learning causal graphs from
observational data. We establish the identifiability of causal graphs within multivariate …

[图书][B] Compendium of Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence

P Hitzler, MK Sarker, A Eberhart - 2023 - books.google.com
If only it were possible to develop automated and trainable neural systems that could justify
their behavior in a way that could be interpreted by humans like a symbolic system. The field …

Optimal estimation of Gaussian DAG models

M Gao, WM Tai, B Aragam - International Conference on …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study the optimal sample complexity of learning a Gaussian directed acyclic graph
(DAG) from observational data. Our main results establish the minimax optimal sample …

Partial homoscedasticity in causal discovery with linear models

J Wu, M Drton - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Information …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Recursive linear structural equation models and the associated directed acyclic graphs
(DAGs) play an important role in causal discovery. The classic identifiability result for this …

Distributionally robust skeleton learning of discrete Bayesian networks

Y Li, B Ziebart - Advances in Neural Information Processing …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider the problem of learning the exact skeleton of general discrete Bayesian
networks from potentially corrupted data. Building on distributionally robust optimization and …
